Probably not. Putin is worse than Stalin, and the terrorists will have less of a chance at Sochi than the Wehrmacht had at Stalingrad (of course, with most Russian security at Sochi, The Chechen and Dagestan terrorists will find the rest of Russia a soft target).

(On the other hand, tomorrow Sochi will be 54º, so there’s more to worry about than terrorists.)

Our “brave” new world, where just threats are enough to have Americans wetting their diapers. Going to the mall, or movies, or school, is more dangerous in this country than acts of terrorism, and it relates to the ease of that “bold, brave, courage builder of the west”, the gun, and crooks and nuts having access to weapons. Which, your odds of getting “offed” by a crook, gang banger, or ticked off spouse, or five year old playing “John Wayne”, are ALL greater than being shot by one of those mentally unstable “nuts”.

Our national bird shouldn’t be a bald eagle (hmm, actually more a scavenger than predator), but the mythical version of the “chickenhawk”. puffed up, and quivering.

Considering that the greatest threat is from Americans with guns people still go to all those places. So I think you overstate their fear.However considering the political atmosphere in Russia is poisonous to begin with I’d recommend skipping that one.
